On this piece
The Firebird is one of Crown Trifari’s most beloved designs, and this 1964 example arrives new and unworn — a triumph of engineering as much as glamour. Trifari built the bird across three separate components to give it multiple levels and real dimension, then encrusted it in pavé AB crystal and a jeweled plumage of sapphire blue, emerald green, and ruby red, with a lone sapphire-blue marquise for the eye. The layering is what makes it: the bird doesn’t lie flat like a lesser pin — it rises and turns, catching light from every facet as you move. This is top-level Trifari, the quality that made the house the name against which all costume jewelry is measured. A statement brooch in the fullest sense, in pristine condition, ready to anchor a lapel or a coat. Bright, dimensional, and unmistakably Trifari at its most confident. The Firebird earns every eye it draws.
